Mueller seeks quiet retreat from public life

Robert Mueller made clear this week that he’s no James Comey.
Mueller for two years avoided the spotlight while running one of the most politically charged investigations in history.
On Wednesday, he suddenly appeared on Americans’ television screens — speaking tersely and carefully about the findings of his investigation. After talking for less than 10 minutes, Mueller left the podium, making it clear he didn't want to be back in the spotlight again.
The moment was fitting for the former FBI chief, who has painstakingly sought to maintain his reputation as a just-the-facts, nonpolitical prosecutor amid frequent attacks on his credibility from President Trump and his GOP allies.
In a major contrast with Comey, the former FBI director who is often on social media and has done a number of high-profile interviews, Mueller has resisted being drawn into the raw political fight that has consumed Washington for the past two years.
